This study identifies 47,350 enhancers active in human neurons during differentiation and links some to genes involved in ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

During the peer-review process the editor and reviewers write an eLife assessment that summarises the significance of the findings reported in the article (on a scale ranging from landmark to useful) ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics have unveiled a groundbreaking map of human DNA mixing during reproduction, offering insights into genetic diversity, health, and fertility. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

DNA nanotechnology utilizes the principle of complementary base pairing of DNA, facilitating higher-ordered stacking assembly of DNA double strands through the design of DNA folding pathways, and ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex (the large protein and phosphoprotein). Not only that, but they also ...

Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA, and president and co-founder of DNA Bridge, Durham, North Carolina, USA. Conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Syria and elsewhere have ...

Of course, though, testing a child's parentage based on physical features is far too subjective — that's typically where DNA tests come in. Such tests can offer a far more scientific way of ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means ...
